Scolaquip Rainbow Crayons (5 colours per stick) - 6pk, Yellow

Product Information

It all started by a craft enthusiast, 7 year old girl and her mom in their humble kitchen in Philippines in attempts to finish a school project with no coloring supplies available, just broken, old and used crayons. Combining all the crayons using heat using a mold and creating a new shape with fun blended colors in every swipe. This technique turned to a hobby for decades and used as gifts for friends and school teachers and turned to a full time small family business in Washington. The Rainbow Sorting Crayons not only provide a fun color exploration activity but also serve as a tool for developing fine motor skills. Children can practice their hand-eye coordination as they grasp, manipulate, and place the crayons into the corresponding slots. This hands-on experience enhances dexterity and strengthens finger muscles, setting a foundation for writing and other important tasks. Once the wax is completely dry and has hardened again, you can pop the newly formed crayons out of the molds.

This project is best done if you are creating your own work of art alongside your child. This modelling will help them make the art project correctly.

You want to kind of overfill them because when the crayons start to melt, the mass will shrink down. For this technique, you can actually stir the crayon wax between each interval to help the melting process. You don’t have to though. Ever wondered how to melt crayons into cool shapes?

Place the mold, with the broken up crayons inside, in the microwave and microwave on high for 30-60 second intervals until the wax has completely melted.I usually like to use only reusable items, but melting crayons really does ruin the container. So, I recommend using small paper cups or something similar that is microwave safe and disposable. It started out as crayon melting 101. But to make things a little more interesting, I created different shapes, like gems, domes, and planets to make them feel a little more special and unique.

However, there are so many other ways to use the crayon resist technique. I encourage you to try some out: Shave short slivers off of the crayons all the way around, in different directions, using a craft blade.

Note for either technique: The more crayons that need to be melted, the longer it will take to melt. So, melt in small batches if possible to reduce the amount of time that each container will be in the microwave. Although I usually prefer process art projects (like this one), this crayon resist art project is simple for children who are preschool or kindergarten age. Even toddlers would certainly be able to do this project with some modelling. Put broken pieces of crayons in separate microwavable containers, that can eventually be thrown away. Parents will appreciate the educational value of the Rainbow Sorting Crayons, knowing that their child is engaged in a purposeful activity that builds crucial skills. Teachers will find this versatile toy invaluable in the classroom, as it can be incorporated into various learning activities, from color recognition exercises to sensory play. I carved into the crayons a little bit when I did this, but it really doesn’t matter since they’ll be melted anyway.At first, I just used my nail to dig into the side of the paper and get it started. That was fine, but it started to hurt my nailed after a while.
